    It means jack shit in a US presidential election.

    Lord.

    If this is how you talk about states that went the way you wanted them to, I’m starting to think you’re just an angry person who is angry at everything. Have you considered therapy?

    … we’re literally discussing strategy right now. Running up votes in a safe state is fucking useless. For someone who’s beating their chest about how ‘realistic’ they’re being, that’s an awfully simple thing to miss.

    You’re acting like trump didn’t lose the popular vote and win the election last time and I’m not sure why you’re doing that because he did.

    Where am I pretending that? Feel free to quote me, genius.

    Harris lost Arizona by 5 points, North Carolina by 3 points, Nevada by 5 points, Pennsylvania by 3 points, Ohio by 11 points, Florida by 11 points. If 2% more people voted for Harris nationwide the result would be a trump presidency with a slightly smaller difference in the popular vote for you to seethe about.

    She lost Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Georgia all by ~2%. Winning Pennsylvania (48.6% vs. 50.3%) and 2 of the other 3 would have given her victory. Sorry that you’re so ill-informed, but I understand that masturbatory cynicism is preferable to folk like you over actual analysis of events.

    Harris didn’t have a chance. Know how I know? Because she fucking lost.

    … what fucking bizarre circular logic.
